Who could have thought 4 years ago, when Jessica Mauboy performed in the semi final in Copenhagen, that 4 years later her country Australia would not only participate, but also be one of the most successful countries in recent Eurovision history?

Tonight, Jessica Mauboy takes part in the Grand Final of the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest. She will perform as 16th country. And unlike her 2014 participation, you can vote for her this time! Perhaps Australia could get its 4th Top-10 result in a row.

Multicultural

Australia’s broadcaster SBS have done a great job. Not only in getting Australia in the competition, but also in representing the country’s multicultural nature. All of the participating artists had a clear multicultural background and showed Australia’s ethnic diversity in an amazing way. ESCDaily’s Joshua Mayne wrote this editorial about that topic.
